About Over Wyresdale
Description of Over Wyresdale, England
Lancaster, in the county of Lancashire, is home to the civil parish and Church of England parish of Over Wyresdale. As to the 2010 Census, its population was 348; by 2011, that number had dropped to 316. The communities of Abbeystead, Lee, Lower Green Bank, Ortner, Marshaw, and Tarnbrook are all part of the parish. About one mile to the west of Abbeystead stands Christ Church, the parish church.
The Abbeystead Estate, owned by the Duke of Westminster, encompasses the vast majority of the parish's land (about 16,000 acres) and even some of the land in neighboring parishes (around 23,000 acres). Only Lower Green Bank, one of the hamlets, does not make up the Abbeystead Estate.
Over Wyresdale, Lancashire, England is home to Christ Church, which occupies a solitary location to the west of the little town of Abbeystead. A Grade II listed building, the church is included on England's National Heritage List. It is a functioning Anglican parish church in the Lancaster area, which includes the Lancaster diocese, archdeaconry, and deanery. In order to better serve the community, its benefice has been united with those of Saint Mark in Dolphinholme and Saint Peter in Quernmore.
The church was originally erected in 1733 to replace a chapel from the 15th century; in 1894, it was restored by Chester architect John Douglas, who also added a spire to the tower, buttresses to the tower, a new south porch, a new vestry, and a new sanctuary.
It has a west tower, a nave with a chancel, a south porch, and a north vestry, and is constructed of sandstone rubble with slate roofs.
